50th Birthday Celebration

Stayed Jan 2026

Pictures cannot do this house justice! Our group of 20 stayed at Salt Water Haven at the beginning of January to celebrate my 50th birthday, and it was truly an unbelievable experience. The home has a fantastic layout for a large group, the views were spectacular, and the living area was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing and spending time together.

To top off an already perfect stay, Sara, the chef, and her assistant Natalia took everything to another level. The food Sara prepared was amazing, the drinks Natalia made each night were delicious, and both of them were such a joy to have in the house with us.

If you’re renting a home in the Manuel Antonio area, do yourself a favor and choose Salt Water Haven—and be sure to request Sara and Natalia. They truly do it right, and you will not be disappointed!

The best house in the area!

Saltwater Haven

Stayed Dec 2025

We just completed our stay at Saltwater Haven, and it truly was a dream come true. From waking up to monkeys to the breathtaking ocean views. We traveled with 21 family members, and the villa was absolutely perfect.

Now let’s talk about the food… WOW doesn’t even begin to cover it. Chef Junior prepared breakfast and dinner for us every day, and each meal was nothing short of outstanding. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and so flavorful. We found ourselves looking forward to every meal!

Junior and his assistant Janet were truly exceptional. They were warm and personable. They offered great food recommendations, shared insights about the area, and made us feel completely taken care of. Their kindness and attention to detail elevated our entire stay and made our Costa Rica experience truly unforgettable.

David, the house manager, was also great. He helped arrange all of our excursions and transportation and was incredibly flexible and 100% available throughout our stay. David was always quick to respond and made everything run smoothly. Having him handle the logistics allowed us to enjoy every moment of our vacation.

We are so grateful for this experience and cannot recommend Saltwater Haven enough.
